Precision : kdm != mdkkdm - Shift - 2004-11-28

In the article about KDM and GDM in the figure 3 it is not KDM in the screenshot but mdkkdm, a Mandrake fork of KDM. The original KDM is always accessible in Mandrake throw drakconf. You need to install kdebase-kdm and if you don't want Mandrake fork uninstall mdkkdm.

live bookmark? - testerus - 2004-11-30

Reading about RSS, is there a reason why dot.kde.org does not have a live bookmark available?

Re: live bookmark? - Anonymous - 2004-11-30

Live bookmark? Mozilla user? See "rdf" in the left column.

Besure to put it in the <head> tag ;)

Don't put it in the head tag because that is utterly broken. Put it in the head element.

My ony wish is.. - Amiroff - 2004-12-01

... that KDM would look as good as GDM, but for now it's just a dream. Hopefully, recently added theme suport will have the same specs as GDM, as there are lots nice gdm examples to port.

Re: My ony wish is.. - ac - 2004-12-01

It's actually the goal of the current KDM theming support effort (which can be found in CVS kdenonbeta/kdmthemes/) to offer full compatibility to GDM themes, so it looks like your wish will be granted soon-ish.

kdenonbeta/kdmthemes/ doesn't exist anymore, it's merged into HEAD.

Akregator - ta - 2004-12-02

I have downloaded and started to use Akregator, and it is a great program. I was looking something like that and found in it more than I am looking for. There are a few points for improvement but overall it is very usable as is. Thank you, and keep up the good work!
